mrblunt Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I had a QTEC on my car with a stock muffler for nearly 2 years. With the cutout closed, the car would reach full boost at 5400 rpms (on a t3/t4). With the cutout open it was about 3900 rpms for 18psi. The difference was just stupid for spoolup. On a turbo car its pretty bad ass b/c you can really hear the turbo whistle. I'm really surprised that Jon picked up 50whp from the cutout, how restrictive are the f-body exhausts? Good lord.

gillbot Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I've had one on my car for over 5 years, NEVER cap it and never get a ticket. I've tried just about all the E-Cutout valves and they all have failed/fallen apart on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I've had one on my car for over 5 years, NEVER cap it and never get a ticket. I've tried just about all the E-Cutout valves and they all have failed/fallen apart on me. Thats the only issue I have with them. I have fixed my qtp twice in the last week. Its easy to fix, but its annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackbar00 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I run open downpipe on the stang, so it really does not need a cutout , but I am wondering if putting one on my GTP would be a benifit? I thought about putting it where the Cat currently is. I had the U-Bend and resonator taken out allready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98fiveseven1647545503 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 How much did yours cost after labor and all that shat? I think Paul's was about $100+ ...don't remember the exact amount... $223 from IPS MOTORSPORTS. fast prompt delivery!! $20 install. also opted for the Stainless Body with the Qtec.

gillbot Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 My current E-Cap is the McCord Power Plate, it's junk. Getting parts from them is nearly impossible since they never answer emails or phone calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CbusBusa Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 i have a race ready electric cut-out from jegs. the screws fell out of the motor. so the wires ripped off the motor while it was dragging on the ground. i soldered the wires and put bigger screws in to hold the motor. never had a problem since. i only close it when i drive throught the housing plat.
